Playing with Fire (Boyxboy)

Chapter Six

I must have day dreamed throughout the whole class by the time I realized I was class was over. I really didn't care because I was ready to leave, the class was boring and pointless to my major anyway. What African American Literature has to do with Public Relations and Artist Management I will never know.

Leaving out of class my cell phone started vibrating. I looked at the caller ID and of all people it was Cadero. I hesitated but I answered anyway against my better judgment.

Before I left Cadero had gotten word from his family that they needed him in Arkansas to help out with the family business. Him leaving made my decision to go to New York easy without any doubt or attachments, especially since he indirectly ended all communication.

While walking to my car I notice Anthony walking toward toward me. I don't know if he knew I was "down" but he was about to start having some suspicions. Regardless of that Cadero and I were no longer together but I did have some deep feelings for this man.

"Liammmm!!!!!!" he said in his smooth voice that's one thing I have always liked about Cadero and my connection it was like I could always bring out a softer less harder side out of him when we where together.

I dapped up Anthony and placed the keys on his hand and letting him know he was driving. I didn't have to worry about Malcolm's ass because he had practice.

"Was good??!! It's been a minute." I said keeping it casual as I got in the and fastened my seatbelt.

Anthony acted like he wasn't paying attention but I knew he was I could see his eyebrows rising and him smirking out the corner of my eye. I quickly turned the volume on the phone down a little and the radio up a lil so he could only hear my end of the conversation.

"I miss you babe, when you gone come see me?" Said Cadero

"Cadero you already know I'm still trying to get settled and get focus on this school work. You are dumb far, and I don't think Marvo would appreciate that." I said letting him know I knew...

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

Before Cadero left and I went to college we we weren't on very good terms terms. We both had extremely strong feelings for one another almost something like those pictures you see on tumblr or the videos of them gay couples doing silly, only difference is that we both were DL. I loved me some Cadero and he loved me so I thought. That all drifted away when he told me what happened when he went on his trip with some friends and coincidentally Marvo his ex was there and they just so happened to have sex coincidentally.

I respected the fact that he told me but the part that disturbed me is that he tried to down play the fact he cheated and dismiss my feelings.

"I mean I didn't have to tell you I could've left it at that. However because I love you I told you." He said to me as if that made everything better. It took me a while but did forgive him but from that moment things started changing between us.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

"So what the hell you mean by that?" He said with confusion in his voice.

"Cadero, I know you still got feelings for Marvo, hell you had sex with your ex when you went on that trip with ya boys." I said with a slight hint of attitude in my voice.

"Liam I told you I'm over him it was a spur of the moment thing something that just happened as a result of too much liquor. Come on I honestly miss you for real. How's school so far?"

"School going good I'm still trying to get the hang of things." I said blandly as I looked over my shoulder glancing at Anthony who I can tell was listening to my conversation intently.
